The Roman Republic was established in 509 BC when the Roman Monarchy was overthrown, and was itself overthrown in 27 BC as a result of the Civil War that followed the assasination of Julius Caesar. It was replaced by the Imperial government of Augustus Ceaser and his successors.
The death of Julius Caesar was the death of the Roman republic. His assassins thought that they were saving the republic from a dictator, but in reality they brought about its downfall. After the civil war that followed, the republic became the principate with the emperors being the sole rulers.
Roman society was not more stable in the late republic. In fact, the republic was torn apart by civil wars.In the last 60 years of the republic there were ten civil wars. It was these civil wars which eventually led to the fall of the republic and the creation of rule by emperors.

The civil wars of the republic were ended by the establishment of he principate by Octavian/Augustus.
Augustus was not controversial. Hardly anyone dared to criticise him because he became by far the most powerful and the richest man in the Roman Empire as a result of fighting in the civil wars which brought down the Roman republic and winning the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic against Mark Antony and his ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt. This is how he managed to establish himself as an absolute ruler and the first Roman emperor.
All of the civil wars had a disastrous effect on the Roman republic as there was a change in the aftermath of each war. For example, the war between Marius and Sulla brought about a change in the government as the authority reverted back to the patricians and patrician interests while the civil war between Caesar and Pompey saw this reversed to an extent. However the civil war between Antony and Octavian was the final nail in the republic's coffin. After Octavian's victory, the entire structure of Roman government changed, with a one man rule rather than a collective one.
Cleopatra of Egypt was one of the elements that brought about a change in the Roman government. She was the catalyst that caused the last civil war of the Republic. After Octavian's victory over Antony and Cleopatra, the Roman government changed from a Republic to a Principate.
